Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my own gear?

Of course! Rental gear is included in the course, but using your own gear is the best way to dive. We highly recommend that every diver owns their own scuba mask and dive computer at a minimum, but this is not required for the course. Please ask for our recommendations before making any purchases.

How deep will we go?

The maximum depth for the advanced courses depends on which adventure dive you are on. Some dives like a night dive will be done in the shallows, but on the deep dive we have a maximum depth of 100 feet (30 meters).

Whats should I bring?

Just bring a good attitude and the willingness to learn! We recommend wearing your bathing suit under a t-shirt in the morning and bringing a rash guard or quick-dry shirt to wear into the water. Consider bringing a water bottle, towel, change of clothes, and a little cash for the local shops.

Where will we do the course?

The 5 open water dives will be conducted on Roatan's barrier reef. We will choose the best dive site based on the adventure dives that you choose as part of your course.
